Beach Biking.

Let me begin by saying that this is absolutely a one off post (as I am paranoid about salt damage to the bike - I rinsed her off for ages afterwards with a hose at) - but, this morning as I went for a big ride, I ended up cycling back along the beach. The tide was out, the beach quiet and the seagulls gossiping. It was a beautiful silver morning.

I finished the ride by parking near some steps and running back to the house for Jonno and the camera.

I am so glad that I did.

I also made Jonno take a photo so that I could prove the bike really is mine, not just that I am stalking a cycling crocheter.

Jonno carried her back up the stairs for me.

This is my very unexciting helmet - I am thinking I will have to crochet a cover for it soon too.

Fantastic photos. Great bike and beach. I am guilty of being a cycling crocheter stalker. We are home now, but I had my eyes peeled for your bike (and you) each time we were out and about at the beach. Would dearly loved to have seen it in real life and say HI. Maybe next time. Enjoy the rest of you time at the beach. Cx

Looking at your bike with all that beautiful crochet is just pure joy. and you fit right in there too. She must have a name that colourful girl. mine is called queenie is she is nagging me to get crocheting her some bling. melx

OH MY WORD! I followed a link and found myself looking at a vision of blue bike gorgeousness! Your bike is totally awesome and you've prettied it up so wonderfully. My hubby is making me an orange bike, and I've showed him what he has to live up to! And how wonderful to ride along the beach with the gulls gossipingJo :)

what an amazing bike!!! I LOVE it!! I love crocheting but would never have thought of decorating my bike :-) you clever lady. wish I lived near the beach.... *sighs* that would be heaven. love your blogging. blessings, Willow x

Your bike is sooooo beautiful! You should be very proud of your handywork. Half of me thinks it should be in a museum and the other half thinks you should ride it at every opportunity and show it off! Katie x

I adore your bike! I swear, when I saw the first picture (via onesheepishgirl) my heart stopped. It's so amazing! As I am also a bike lover, I have felt inspired to decorate my bike too. See atwww.cuppa-tea-and-a-biscuit.blogspot.com

I love love love this article! Its very good quality and looks amazingly cute! It came very fast in the mail and its a very nice fit too! No complaints at all! I would recommend cheapest phone this to anyone looking for a good quality wig!

I am smitten by your bike. I wanted to let you know that I loved it so much that I included it in my recent blog post about knit art: http://slingshotsandarrows.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/group-show-knitty/

About Me

I am an Australian living in New Zealand with my husband Jonno and children Archie and Hugo on a harbourside dairy farm. My great aunt and uncle taught me to embroider when I was eight and I have been obsessed with fabric and thread ever since. I now crochet, knit, paint, sew, print fabric, embroider, write and all sorts of other things that raises seratonin. I am also lucky enough to design projects for Simply Crochet UK . Thanks for stopping by!
